Alexander Harris Mysterious Caves Of Donbass EP

Parallel Records has proved itself a fine purveyor of all things electronic music over the past few months, and regardless of whether they're turning their hand to house or techno, the results always evoke an inevitably sophisticated sheen. For their 9th release, they draft in a newcomer to join the ranks, as Ukraine up-and-comer Alexander Harris delivers with astounding proliferation on the brilliantly named Mysterious Caves of Donbass EP. And this is indeed an EP that's mysterious as much as it is beguiling and expertly executed. The title track bears all the hallmarks of a producer who Knows a thing or two about crafting expert house music, as the protagonist leads us on a charge that's rife with intoxicating basslines and warm, intricate deep hues. It´s exceptional stuff, and it's even matched by the engaging B-side, with "Terri Conique" ; another effort that's swimming in quick- witted textures and a sprightly, liberal dose of synths that's hard not to love. Made purely for fans of the discerning side of the spectrum, this is very much an EP that's worthy of your time.
